Horrible Announcing

Did anybody pay attention to how many things were messed up during the telecast today. They had Taufouu's picture on the screen when "Mike Branson" was punting. They mixed up James Smith and Sed Johnson the entire first half (both wear #2). They said Tiller was a redshirt freshman from San Diego. Also, one of the announcers said "despite the Cyclones success, it hasn't translated into momentum in recruiting." I literally muted the game at the 4 minute mark of the 2nd quarter so I don't know what else I missed. NO RESPECT!!!

Re: Horrible Announcing

agreed, it was hard to listen to them talk about the blackshirts, make mistakes, no reporting on apparent injuries, etc. Iowa State definitely forced some turnovers and Nebraska had some give aways. My count - Iowa State 6 take aways- Nebraska 2 give aways. Got a little old hearing about how Nebraska was shooting themselves in the foot versus giving credit for a very tenacious defensive effort.

That all said, I am very glad it was on TV and I don't care who the announcers are as long as I get to see the game.

The announcers aren't responsible for the graphics that are put on the screen, but I did think that Brandter had spent some time in the tanning booth. They said Tiller was from San Antonio, not San Diego. I don't know if that's right, but thats what they said.
